I have two war files msg-producer and msg-consumer. How to deploy these two war files onto jboss 6.4.0 simultaneously?
currently deploying one war file like this:
copy war file into EAP\standalone\deployments folder
Run standalone.bat from EAP-6.4.0\bin.
Yes, you can deploy two or multiple WAR files into EAP\standalone\deployments folder.
Each web application will have a different context root, using context root you can access the application.
Yes, You can deploy two or more WAR/EAR files in the JBoss Application server.
Please go through the $JBOSS_ROOT/standalone/deployments/README.txt
There are two different modes 1. auto-deploy mode and 2. manual deploy mode
Manual deployment relies on a system of marker
files, with the user's addition or removal of a marker file serving as a sort
of command telling the scanner to deploy, undeploy or redeploy content.
Auto-deploy mode: The scanner will directly monitor the deployment content,
automatically deploying new content and redeploying content whose timestamp
has changed.
Read the README.txt for more details.
The simplest way I recommend is
Login the JBoss admin console
Under deployments tab, click on "add" and select the required msg-producer and msg-consumer war files. "Enable" checkbox to be selected.
Access the application http://localhost(or_servername):8080/contextroot/

I'm working on a WLS 12.1c locally installed application server (on a VM instance). I deployed apps with the help of the WLS web console. Selecting "install" and selecting the path of the EAR file I wish to deploy. Fine. Works.
However, I wish that the ear is picked up from this same place every time it changes. Otherwise I have to "Delete" the deployment package, restart the server and "install" the EAR again. Too much hassle.
How do I activate auto-deployment?
thanks
If you're in a development setting, you might want to use auto-deployment instead:
Development mode enables a WebLogic Server instance to automatically deploy and update applications that are in the domain_name/autodeploy directory (where domain_name is the name of a WebLogic Server domain).
Note that your Weblogic Server MUST be running in development mode.
Once you add your EAR to domain_name/autodeploy/, from there on out, it will automatically picks up changes to the files in that directory:
To auto-deploy an archived application, copy its archive file to the /autodeploy directory. WebLogic Server automatically sets the application's deployment mode to stage mode.
A deployment unit that was auto-deployed can be dynamically redeployed while the server is running. To dynamically redeploy, copy the new version of the archive file over the existing file in the /autodeploy directory.
See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24443/autodeploy.htm
When webapps are deployed via Eclipse to Tomcat, $catalina_home/conf/server.xml is getting overwritten by Eclipse. This means, whatever changes I make to server.xml prior to app deployment is overwritten by Eclipse.
My application uses GridGain and hence I need to add the following line to server.xml:
<Listener className="org.gridgain.grid.loaders.tomcat.GridTomcatLoader" configurationFile="config/default-spring.xml"/>
Since Eclipse overwrites server.xml every time I deploy a new version of the app, I need to instruct Eclipse to insert the above line (this is applicable for all tomcat event listeners) as well during deployment. Is this possible? If not is there a workaround for GridGain based applications to be deployed via Eclipse?
Eclipse uses ${workspace}/Servers/${server-name}/server.xml for its configuration. That directory is created when you setup a new server. It's not overwritten every time you deploy the app but only if you make changes in the server config UI. If you need to add something manually to server.xml then do so and set the file to read-only e.g. directly in Eclipse:
locate the file (see path above)
right-click
Properties
Resource
enable "Read only"
That way Eclipse will ask/notify you everytime it tries to alter the file and you can allow/disallow that.
I put my jboss on the linux server, exported the war file and placed it on the deployments folder and it automatically deployed. I didn't even had to do it via command line. How is this working?
My jboss has ssl to it.
From the Application Deployment documentation:
The standalone/deployments directory in the JBoss Application Server 7 distribution is the location end users can place their deployment content (e.g. war, ear, jar, sar files) to have it automically deployed into the server runtime.
So, if you put a war file in standalone/deployments, JBoss will detect it and act as if you had manually deployed it. The documentation page has a lot more info about configuration if you want to change the defaults.
Is there any possibility to run ant after, let's say a clean of a jboss tools server?
e.g. i plan to move some directories after having deployed them to a different directory to speed up things in jboss start up.
Another solution which came to my mind was to make jboss tools call a specific "start jboss" task/bat/something which would result in first calling my own 'move files' target then starting jboss
[EDIT - solved]
So the working solution for me was a comination of ant and jboss tools.
I use jboss 6.0.0 and jboss tools 3.2 i think
So double click the jboss 6.0.0 server, click on the tab deployment (it's a usability fail imho that this important tab is at the bottom of the view/window).
Now click on your dynamic web app module name in the list. Redirect the deployment location to yourwebappname.ear/yourwebappname.war
Use the jboss deploy folder
Move all lib files from the war/web-inf/lib to yourweappname.ear/lib
I could move all of them except spring-web-2.5.6.jar
Delete them in web-inf
eventually create and fill the meta-inf directory in yourwebappname.ear/META-INF (i did it at least) with application.xml and manifest.mf

You do not reveal what kind of moves you exactly want to do and no, there is no direct support to call out to Ant or similar after a clean in JBoss Tools deploy.
But depending on what you actually want to do one or more of the below options might work for you:
Use custom deploy directory for the server
If you just need all deployments go to a specific directory then just set a custom deploy directory for the server - no need to move anything.
This is done by double clicking on the server and in the server editor under the deployments tab you can control the root directory.
Use custom deploy directory and name for specific deployments
If you need more finegrained control then you can also use the Deployments page described above to set the relative directory and name for deployment for each individual module.
Have a Ant task setup as eclipse external tool builder
If none of the above works then you could setup an Ant task as external tool builder under Project Properties. This ant launcher you can even limit to only run when certain resources changes inside the eclipse workspace - you might be able to use that to control when you want to do the "move some directories".
I have an exploded directory that I am editing in eclipse (created via setting location to directory location when creating New Project, deployed directory already existed). When I deploy this directory from the command line, it does not seem to save it locally (anywhere within glassfish\domain_
If I create a Java EE application in eclipse from scratch and deploy it from Eclipse Run -> on server, it copies it to glassfish\domains\domain1\eclipseapps
Is there a way to have GlassFish save deployed directories locally without using the GlassFish plugin magic?
Short Answer: No.
The whole point of directory deployment is speed and development convenience.
You tell GlassFish to not copy any files at all but to, instead, use the files already laid out on disk.
If you want to run from a copy of your app then just deploy the archive (war/rar/ear/jar) file.
